This forum is not for OE, which is part of Windows and IE, not Office. But it
sounds like you have not set up your mail account servers properly. Contact
your email provider or use their Help web site to get the real server
settings and set up the acct again. There is no server named just 'pop3." It
must have the rest of the name--comcast.com, earthlink.net, or whatever.
